PT&P's
QC Manager, has lead several testing efforts including three
at cryogenic temperatures. Two of these tested coils in springs, the
other tested an anchor for cryogenic pipelines. Tests on aluminum
travel stops proved successful and these are a new PT&P standard.
Other new standard procedures cover bonding processes.

The picture
above shows PT&P's QC Manager as he is preparing to test the pressure capability of
a 4"-150 lb. rated metal expansion joint unit. The unit is sealed
and gauged as air is introduced through a fitting on the top blind
flange. As a pump supplies air, the gauges indicate how much pressure
the unit is experiencing.

vessels" are a SWECO specialty.
